Besides the color, there are actually some subtle differences between the two. Considering the trend of retro styling, will the new emblem actually look older than the current one? Choose your horse, place your bets, and make the jump to find out.

And it's the dark horse by a nose! Yep, this here is the new 2010 model pony. Douglas Gaffka, chief designer for the 2010 Mustang, says of his steed:

"We lifted the head to make the pony more proud, tipped the neck into the wind to give it a feeling of greater speed and better balance... It’s more chiseled and more defined and looks more like a wild horse... It’s more realistic in terms of proportion to an actual Mustang.”

How this will translate to the look of the actual car remains to be seen. [via Ford]

<![CDATA[How To Buy A Toyota Emblem...From A GM Dealership?!]]>

We all know the Chevy Cavalier. You may also remember Toyota sold a badge-engineered platform prostitute version in the Japanese Domestic Market that was built by GM. But — did you know you could actually buy a Toyota emblem from a GM dealership with a valid GM part number? We assumed we could. But intrepid souls at Automobile actually went and did it. What they found was the Toyota logo comes in a beautiful plastic poly bag. Feel free to keep it as a collector's item. Oh, they also found the same logo from a Toyota dealership costs between $2 and $10 more. Hmm. Maybe they add magic super number one best automaker from the land of the rising sun pixie dust to it or something. [Automobile]

<![CDATA[No Room For The Cadillac Engine? Get The Emblem!]]> When I saw the junked '71 Eldorado last weekend, I said the same thing to its engine-displacement emblems that (ex-schoolteacher) Chaim Witz said to 16-year-old Christine when he saw her walking home from school: I got to have you! Of course, I didn't mean quite the same thing by my statement (you hope), but the upshot is that I've got a companion for the Super-Malaise Cadillac V8-6-4 emblem now stuck on my office bulletin board. Apparently The General's marketing types felt that the British "Litre" spelling would give the Eldo added style; we can also see this philosophy on the '73 Grand Am.
